    P.S. Learning to breathe in and out in a very consistent and measured way while I ran was also key for me as an asthmatic -- no matter what my pace, I try to keep my breath the same, and make sure to breathe all the way out on the exhale. When I would start getting tired (or stressed) while running, I noticed that I would breathe faster and start panting, and that exhausted me and shut me down almost immediately. I also noticed that I would hunch my shoulders and back to push myself through, and that also impedes your breathing and uses all your energy on tensing those muscles instead of getting air.

    I still have to concentrate on these 2 things -- but when I keep the breath steady, I can go (almost) forever.
